74 Motorised Cutting Length Settings (0.4mm to 15mm)

The innovative

i-trim stubble

uses an integrated cutting guide

with 74 ultra precise control settings eliminating the need for

changing and storing different attachment combs. The cutting

guide is motorised for easy one touch adjustment and features an

LCDdisplayforconrmationofthelengthsettingselected.When

To attach the comb guide, line up the long sides of the comb guide

(arms)withthesidesofthe

i-trimstubble

. The teeth of the comb

guide should be facing forwards. Push the comb guide down onto

thetrimmeruntilit‘clicks’intoplace.Thisshouldthensecurethe

comb guide into place.

USING THE UNIQUE STUBBLE COMB GUIDE ATTACHMENT

Your

i-trimstubble

comes assembled with the stubble comb guide

already attached to the standard comb guide. This comb guide

helps to provide maximum precision and length control when

trimming around the sideburns and contours of the neck.

The

i-trimstubble

can be used with or without the stubble comb

guide attachment, whichever is more comfortable for you to use.

IMPORTANT: Always remove and attach the comb guide BEFORE

turning the trimmer on.

To remove the stubble comb guide

attachment, first remove the standard comb

guide by adjusting the cutting length on

the trimmer to the longest length setting

(15mm). Switch the product off and then

pull the comb guide upwards to remove.

When the standard comb guide has been

removed from the trimmer, using one hand,

slightly push the arms of the standard comb

guidetogether (Image1). Oneside of the

stubble comb guide should then come away

from the standard comb guide. Using the

other free hand, simply un-click the other

side of the stubble comb guide and pull

it away to separate the two comb guide

attachments. The standard comb guide

can now be re-attached to the trimmer

(Image2).

To attach the stubble comb guide attachment, take the stubble

comb guide and line it up with the standard comb guide. The teeth

ofbothcombguidesshouldbefacingforwards.Ensurethatwhen

attaching the stubble comb guide to the standard comb guide,

that the curved long edge of the standard comb guide is facing

the back.

Using one hand, slightly push the arms of

the standard comb guide together. Take

the stubble comb guide and line the two

inserts up with the two lugs on either side

of the standard comb guide. Simply hold

the stubble comb guide in place and then

release the pressure from the standard

comb guide. The two comb guides should

nowbeconnected(Image3).

Push the standard comb guide down onto the trimmer until it

‘clicks’ into place. This should then secure the comb guide into

place.

USING THE FOIL SHAVER ATTACHMENT

Your

i-trim stubble

includes an interchangeable foil shaver

attachmenttogiveyouaclean,sharpedgetoyourstubble.Itcan

also be used to shave in hard to reach areas, such as around the

ears and nape of the neck.

(NB–Neverhold theshaverheadbythe foil,asthiscouldcause

damage. Always inspect the shaving foils for signs of damage.

Nevershavewithadamagedfoil,asthismaycauseinjury).

To attach the foil shaver attachment, remove the comb guide by

adjusting the cutting length on the trimmer to the longest length

setting (15mm). Switch the product off and then pull the comb

guide upwards to remove.

Youwillneedtoremovethebladefromthe

i-trim stubble

before attaching the foil

shaver attachment. To remove the blade,

hold the handle of the trimmer with one

hand and place your free hand on top of

the trimmer head, with the thumb placed

at the back of the blade. Place your index

finger and middle at the front of the blade.

Usingyourindexandmiddlefingers,pullthe

blade backwards and click off the trimmer

(Image4).Placethebladeinasecureplace.

Attach the foil shaver by lining up the

long side (arms) with the sides of the

i-trimstubble

(Image5).Slidethefoilshaver

down onto the trimmer until it clicks into

place. The foil shaver is now ready to be used

(Image6).

(NB–Whenusingthetrimmerwiththefoil

shaver attachment, the cutting length will

bebelow0.4mm.Thelengthsettingshown

ontheLCDdisplaywillnolongerberelevant

when the comb guide is removed).

To remove the foil shaver attachment, slide

the attachment up and away from the

trimmer by holding the long sides (arms)

of the foil shaver attachment and pulling

away from the trimmer.

Attach the blade by lining up the insert with the lug at the bottom
